A Jan. 6 Moment for Brazil
11 januari 2023 · 31 min
After Jair Bolsonaro lost October’s Brazilian presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, many believed that the threat of violence from the defeated leader’s supporters would recede. They were wrong. Lees meer
Mr. Bolsonaro had spent years sewing doubt and undermining Brazil’s election system, and last week, thousands of rioters stormed Brazil’s Congress, Supreme Court and presidential offices.
What happened — and how did Brazil get here?
Guest: Jack Nicas, the Brazil bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:
What drove a mass attack on Brazil’s capital? Mass delusion.
The riots in Brazil had echoes of Jan. 6 in the United States. The comparison is inevitable and useful but here are some major differences.

The Sunday Read: ‘She Fell Nearly 2 Miles, and Walked Away’
8 januari 2023 · 24 min
On Christmas Eve in 1971, Juliane Diller, then 17, and her mother boarded a flight in Lima, Peru. She was headed for Panguana, a biological research station in the belly of the Amazon, where for three years she had lived, on and off, with her mother, Maria, and her father, Hans-Wilhelm Koepcke, both zoologists. Lees meer
About 25 minutes after takeoff, the plane flew into a thunderstorm, was struck by lightning and broke apart. Strapped to her seat, Juliane fell some 10,000 feet, nearly two miles. Her row of seats is thought to have landed in dense foliage, cushioning the impact. Juliane was the sole survivor of the crash.
LANSA Flight 508 was the deadliest lightning-strike disaster in aviation history.
In the 50 years since the crash, Juliane moved to Germany, earned a Ph.D. in biology, became an eminent zoologist, got married — and, after her father’s death, took over as director of Panguana and the primary organizer of expeditions to the refuge.

The Sunday Read: ‘What Does Sustainable Living Look Like? Maybe Like Uruguay’
20 november 2022 · 58 min
Across the world, developed nations have locked themselves into unsustainable, energy-intensive lifestyles. As environmental collapse threatens, the journalist Noah Gallagher Shannon explores the lessons in sustainability that can be learned from looking “at smaller, perhaps even less prosperous nations” such as Uruguay. Lees meer
“The task of shrinking our societal footprint is the most urgent problem of our era — and perhaps the most intractable,” writes Shannon, who explains that the problem of reducing our footprints further “isn’t that we don’t have models of sustainable living; it’s that few exist without poverty.”
Tracing Uruguay’s sustainability, Shannon shows how a relatively small population size and concentration (about half of the country’s 3.5 million people live in Montevideo, the capital) had long provided the country with a collective sense of purpose. He also shows how in such a tight-knit country, the inequalities reach a rapid boil, quoting a slogan of a Marxist-Leninist group called the Tupamaros: “Everybody dances or nobody dances.”
Looking for answers to both a structural and existential problem, Shannon questions what it would take to achieve energy independence.

A Republican House
16 november 2022 · 28 min
Divided government appears poised to return to Washington. In the midterm elections, the Republicans seem likely to manage to eke out a majority in the House, but they will have a historically small margin of control. Lees meer
The Republican majority will be very conservative, made up of longtime members — some of whom have drifted more to the right — and a small but influential group of hard-right Republicans who are quite allied with former President Donald J. Trump and helped lead the effort to try to overturn the 2020 election.
What can we expect from this new Republican-controlled House?
Guest: Julie Davis, congressional editor for The New York Times.
Background reading:
After the midterm elections, the Republican ranks in the House have grown more extreme and slightly more diverse.
Republican rebels are trying to make their leaders sweat after a worse-than-expected outcome in the elections.

Republicans pushing to move past the former president face one big obstacle: His voters.

On the first nationwide test of American students since the pandemic, scores plummeted to levels not seen in 20 years. The results show how challenging it was to keep students on track during the pandemic. Lees meer

The Sunday Read: ‘Young and Homeless in Rural America’
13 november 2022 · 43 min
Sandra Plantz, an administrator at Gallia County Local Schools for more than 20 years, oversees areas as diverse as Title I reading remediation and federal grants for all seven of the district’s schools. In recent years, though, she has leaned in hard on a role that is overlooked in many districts: homeless liaison. Lees meer
Ms. Plantz’s district, in rural Ohio, serves an area that doesn’t offer much in the way of a safety net beyond the local churches. The county has no family homeless shelters, and those with no place to go sometimes end up sleeping in the parking lot of the Walmart or at the hospital emergency room.
Homeless students have the worst educational outcomes of any group, the lowest attendance, the lowest scores on standardized tests, the lowest graduation rates. They all face the same cruel paradox: Students who do not have a stable place to live are unable to attend school regularly, and failing to graduate from high school is the single greatest risk factor for future homelessness.

How Democrats Defied the Odds
10 november 2022 · 25 min
This week’s elections have been startlingly close. Control of both chambers of Congress remain up in the air. Lees meer
Historically, the president’s party is blown away in midterms. And the Democrats were further hampered this time round by President Biden’s unpopularity.
Considering the headwinds, how did they do so well?
Guest: Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for The New York Times.
Background reading:
President Biden appears to have had the best midterms of any president in 20 years.
Election denial didn’t play as well as Republicans hoped. And former President Donald Trump has faced unusual public attacks from across his party following a string of losses.

How Democracy Itself Ended Up on the Ballot in Wisconsin
8 november 2022 · 50 min
Over the last decade, Wisconsin has become an extreme experiment in single-party rule. Republican officials have redrawn the state’s election districts and rewritten laws to ensure their domination of the state’s legislature. Lees meer
In Tuesday’s elections, those officials are asking voters for the final lever of power: control over the entire system of voting.
Guest: Reid J. Epstein, a reporter covering elections and campaigns for The New York Times.
Background reading:
In Wisconsin, a 50-50 battleground state, Republicans are close to capturing supermajorities in the State Legislature that would render the Democratic governor irrelevant even if he wins re-election.
